A Flower House

Last year at the end of spring, I purchased a little Flower House. It didn’t get much use last year, but stored easily and compactly. This year I have already assembled it, and placed it on a small piece of land just outside the back door area. Here it gets some sun in the morning, but not enough to fry the seedlings, and is close enough to water easily. It is also near enough that if foul weather threatens, I can run out and drag the plants into the kitchen for safely.

I don’t know about its ability to retain heat overnight, so right now the only things in there are the cool weather seedlings (cabbage and lettuces). The basil, tomatoes and peppers that have germinated, will spend the day their but be indoors overnight for a few more weeks.

Last Thursday I sowed some seedlings, and already the lettuce and cabbages have germinated. They started growing leggy in just two days, so with cold nights and very sunny warm days, I sat them on the front porch for a few hours to get some much needed sunshine.
